Back in London folks, here to attend the Charity match where the Rajasthan Royals will take on the Middlesex Panthers for the British Asian Trust Cup on the 6th of July at Lords, and I was happy to know that it’s a sellout, in 4 weeks to pull that off is quite amazing, just goes to show that Cricket is such a phenomenal success all year round! will write more about cricket after watching the match, but let me share with you my experience at my 1st Wimbledon Tennis Finals, Roger Federer Vs Andy Roddick. What a historic match, the longest game ever recorded at Wimbledon! I was supporting the underdog since I’d seen Federer win quite a few… thought someone else should win this time, my god Roddick gave him a tough fight, and how! Actually felt bad for him at the end of it, but I guess the Winner has to take it all!
But the thrilling battle lasted 4 hrs and I was tired just sitting and watching, can’t imagine their level of fatigue. Rather unfortunate for Roddick but have to give it to the champion of the day Roger Federer. He kept up to his name and now has made history by winning the most number of Grand Slam titles beating Pete Sampras, 15 titles, wow!
So that’s that… excited about tomorrow’s match - now can’t wait, my morning starts with doing an interview on the “This Morning show” on ITV, then the match. so its gonna be a long day, signing off now, will write in a couple of days - lots of exciting news to share
will post pictures of both matches soon… CIAO!! Till then, keep writing in…

Hi Shilpa just to let you know i’m a huge fan of yours. I’m not indian but I am a huge Bollywood fan, I came to see you all in the unforgettable tour last year in London which was fabulous!
I was a Bollywood fan even before you went into Big Brother and its great to see its popularity increase tremendously here in the UK post your win on Big Brother. I loved the interview you just gave on “this morning”. You did a brilliant job of showcasing Bollywood. thank you!:)

Congratulations on RR’s win!! Well done!
Watched your interview on This Morning, you were superb as usual!
I was watching the Wimbledon finals too, albeit at home on TV
It’s quite surprising, because unlike all my friends, I was also supporting Roddick just like you, and for the VERY same reasons, the fact that he was the underdog, and the fact that Federer had won so many in the past! I felt bad for Roddick, but he gave Federer a tough game! (some of my friends thought it would be a walk in the park for Federer, at least Roddick proved that wrong!)
Anyway back to you, I’m looking forward to hear all the exciting news! So we’ll all be looking out for new news articles in your name on google
(I google you practically every day!) and waiting to see the pics too!
I thought ‘The Desire’ was going to be screened at the Cannes film festival. What happened with that? And I’m also waiting to hear more about The Man, and sign some more films please!
Your true fan!

Hi Shilpa. I love wimbledon and go there every year! That place has such a nice vibe and atmosphere. Have you seen Michael Jackson’s memorial service? it was a very emotional service. Your friend Jermaine was so wonderful singing the ‘Smile’ song, but you can also see the pain in his face. I feel sorry for his family and kids. Please convey our sadness to Jermaine. thanks Shilpa

Hello!! Shilpa,
I saw that Federer took the match to the 5th set. Roddick has a slaplike forehand then that’s it!! Anyway He tried hardd., SSolace to him.,
Roger used his BRAIN to able to lift the trophy & be at the Wibledon PARTY!!
Ms Serena plays sso good tennis.
She deserves to be met again at the court altar. The rematch between those sisters will be WOURTH the wait!!!
once Ms Venus gets fit again to start afresh & NUTRIFIED.,
